Yes!!! An Emo Community! Charls from Illinois here. The scene is alive and thriving here. All sorts of legendary homegrown bands and great venues aplenty to see the classics and the new stuff. I don’t play in a band, but I “played” bass in the wayback. I guess the Emo pipeline for me started with “Dear You” by Jawbreaker, then I got obsessed with The Lawrence Arms and Braid. Currently enamored with Guitar Fight, Charmer, Saturdays At Your Place, and Yes Yes A Thousand Times Yes to name a few. I’m embarrassingly only just now getting into The Brave Little Abacus. Better late than never I guess?

pretty empty community, but i’d really love to have like minded music lovers here on lemmy too, so i’ll go ahead and start off these introductions ;)

not sure if i’m technically supposed to be here, since i listen to more “emo” music than actual emo genre music (think more my chemical romance, get scared, pierce the veil, and the used rather than modern baseball basically) but i hope either this is the community for me or i’ll be able to find a more suitable one! either way though, music is super important to me emotionally and just something i love the feeling of listening to, though i’m not in a band or anything.

Excited to see this here, even it is small. Everything starts somewhere. I’ll listen to pretty much anything, My Chemical Romance to American Football, you name it.

I’m from Western Canada. I discovered emo when I was suicidally depressed in highschool (like most emo fans I guess, lol) and while I’m doing a lot better now, I never got tired of the music.

I don’t play in a band but I do scream at my steering wheel after the occasional shitty day at work.

Hey I’m Kyle, from the mid-Atlantic region of the US. I got into emo during the early 2000s 3rd wave via Something Corporate that a friend let me listen to. Over time I definitely drifted way more into 2nd wave. I play a little bass guitar but not nearly good enough to do anything with it.

My fave emo band is Mineral.
